Chapter 557: Avian Flu (2)
As soon as the announcement was posted, the Myriad World Civilization undoubtedly entered a state of extreme anxiety.
This was unavoidable and also within Luo Ji’s expectations.
However, during this period, the biggest blow was undoubtedly dealt to the owners of the poultry farms.
Upon learning the news of the announcement, each of them felt as if they had been struck by lightning.
Their once bustling farms now had barely a soul in sight.
Even the factory employees, scared by the avian flu, found various excuses to take leave.
Some simply didn’t come in at all.
This made the bosses feel a mix of frustration and a deep sense of powerlessness.
They themselves were a little afraid to go to the farms.
Who knew if they would be the next to get sick?
Their hearts were tangled in conflict and driven mad.
Fortunately, Luo Ji had not given up on them.
Primarily, at this critical juncture of an avian flu outbreak, how could he leave a pile of diseases unattended?
As such, Luo Ji, having understood the situation, could only dispatch “fully armed” soldiers to disinfect and clean those farms.
As soon as the order was given, on that very day, soldiers wearing medical masks and gloves, carrying goblin-made sprayers, swarmed into the various poultry farms.
While spraying the Medical Department’s special disinfectant, they also had to carry out sanitation cleaning of these farms.
Of course, all expenses, consumption, and remuneration during this period were to be covered by the owners of those farms.
The farm owners naturally had no objections to this.
After identifying the source of the epidemic and taking relatively timely measures, the number of avian flu patients within the Myriad World Civilization was noticeably brought under effective control.
He had done everything he could for now.
The only things he could rely on next were the medical talents of his Myriad World Civilization and his Gold-tier Ancient Nursing Home.
Speaking of which, Luo Ji was utterly impressed with his past self!
Building a Gold-tier Ancient Nursing Home in advance was truly farsighted.
In fact, medical development had always been a high priority in Luo Ji’s Myriad World Civilization
If he ever got any medical blueprints, he would definitely build them as soon as possible.
When browsing the auction house, if he saw any Silver-tier medical skill books, he would immediately buy them without batting an eye, provided he could afford them.
Because, as mentioned before, ancient epidemic problems had always been his biggest headache and concern.
So, he clearly understood that this area had to be stabilized, even at a loss.
Otherwise, a highly contagious epidemic could directly lead to his complete downfall.
Luo Ji still had considerable trust in the abilities of Zhou Jingsheng and others.
After all, they were 4-star talents.
In any industry, 3-star talents were considered excellent, so the capability of 4-star talents could be imagined.
Furthermore, Luo Ji had also acquired so many Silver-tier skill books for them.
It was only a matter of time before they developed a prescription and method to cure avian flu.
Until then, to alleviate his restless emotions, he decided to find something to do.
However, handling government affairs was clearly out of the question.
He couldn’t calm down.
All recent government affairs had been handed over to Lu Yang.
With that, Luo Ji opened his civilization’s development panel.
After some time, the industrious work of the goblins had accumulated enough special points for him.
He had finally managed to upgrade “Goblin Tech” to Level 3.
And he had also unlocked the Level 1 special unit, Goblin Engineers.
[Goblin Engineer (Special Unit) (Level 1): One of the characteristic units of the Goblin Civilization. These small creatures possess nimble fingers and can quickly repair damaged military equipment. During wartime, military equipment repair efficiency increases by 30%, and military equipment repair success rate increases by 15%.]
The effect of this Level 1 Goblin Engineer was already quite considerable.
Luo Ji expressed his satisfaction.
As for the training of this special unit, he now had a very simple method, which was to directly hand it over to Gawain.
Gawain, unable to access the system page or perform any system operations, had essentially become an NPC.
Fortunately, his intellect and experience remained.
How could Goblin Engineers be rapidly trained?
No one would know better than Gawain, the Goblin King himself.
With such a simple and convenient method, Luo Ji naturally wouldn’t pass it up.
He immediately drafted a handwritten order and sent someone to Gawain in Gear Town.
Then, his gaze slowly shifted to another newly unlocked project.
[Goblin Fixed Platform (Special Building) (Level 0): A special fixed platform cleverly invented by the small creatures to secure large military equipment. Large military equipment placed on this fixed platform gains a 10% increase in attack power and a 5% increase in attack efficiency.]
Attack efficiency could be understood as the attack frequency of large military equipment.
Being able to attack multiple times in a short period indicates high attack efficiency for that large military equipment.
Conversely, if it takes a long time to attack once, it means the large military equipment has very low attack efficiency.
Just for this point alone, this special building named ‘Goblin Fixed Platform’ already had a very good effect.
Not to mention it could also increase the power of large military equipment.
Gawain had clearly told him about this special building before.
However, there was a crucial point to note!
That is, this ‘Goblin Fixed Platform’ is built in place and essentially immobile.
In other words, this item cannot be taken out to attack others.
It can only function during siege defense battles.
This was a minor flaw, but the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.
Given the effect of this special building, even if it could only be used in defensive battles, it was enough to satisfy Luo Ji.
He decisively upgraded it to Level 1 as well, just to unlock it first.
The Goblin Civilization section was temporarily fully upgraded.
The Beastmen Civilization hadn’t accumulated many points recently.
As they had just received and utilized a wave of points a while ago, there wasn’t much new development to observe.
As for his core Myriad World Civilization section, there were indeed points available.
But Luo Ji was now a bit hesitant.
The reason for his hesitation wasn’t about which project to upgrade.
Currently, in his Myriad World Civilization’s development panel, there was only one project he wanted to upgrade, the ‘Racial Coexistence’ project, which increased intimacy between various races.
However, his Myriad World Civilization was different from the Goblin Civilization.
The Myriad World Civilization belonged to the functional type of civilization.
Activating the ‘Civilization Conqueror’ and ‘Territory Conqueror’ special skills both required conquering points.
Precisely because of this, the development speed of this section had always been relatively slow.
Because he had to save a sum of conquering points just in case.
After a moment of internal struggle, Luo Ji ultimately decided to save those points.
The projects that could currently be upgraded were not particularly urgent.
Unlocking the third new project, however, would require 200 conquering points.
This was truly a huge sum!
The most points Luo Ji had ever saved before was just over 100 points.
It almost cost him his life to save that much.
In other words, he still had a lot more saving to do!
